Shampoo of the Month

Thanks to a post a few years ago on DFS I made the switch to shampoo bars.  During that time, I've tried Mike's, Mystic Waters, Chagrin, PAA, WSP, MWF (not a bar but a really good shampoo, nonetheless) and several others.  Of the ones I've tried, I have a tendency to lean towards MW (Neem & Tea Tree scent) but, just like with shave soap, i enjoy trying new ones.  Would love to see what others are using and their experience/opinions of the shampoo.

Started a new WSP Barbershop this morning. 

Great topic!  I've tried and liked several.  Mickey Lee made a great one but sadly, don't anymore.  I too like Mystic Waters, Chagrin, and Mikes.  Price lead me to Stirling and those offerings were great.  Bigger bar, less per oz.  I still had the issue of two bars in the shower though .  One day I was out of shampoo bars and used my artisan bath bar to great effect and just use my bath bar now.  Right now...PAA Solstice.

About accessories, with Stirling Soap Company, my fav is Meissner Tremonia.
Unlike SSC, these have few selected fragrances (easily manageable as production) and I have always found them available.

I love MT, especially for the technical qualities ... but also for the fragrances.
The names of the models are different, but the accessories follow the lines of the soaps:
Citrus Fruit ............. Dark Limes
Coriander & Lemongrass ... Indian Flavor *
Garden Sage & Amyris ..... Salty Sea Sage
Geranium & Lavender ...... Lavender Deluxe *
Litsea & Blood Orange .... Wild Oranges
Pure ..................... Puristic Style
Rosemarin & Lemon ........ Gentle Menthol *
Warm Wood ................ Warm Woods
* My favs.

Of the three formulations available, I prefer the hard ones.
The paste is used up more quickly, even if the fragrance is richer.
Butter is perfect for use without the sponge, and is excellent for dry skin ... but I have opposite needs.

Oh man...I can't believe I forgot to include Stirling!  I just finished a Stirling Gin & Tonic shampoo bar before starting the WSP.  It had a great scent with a touch of menthol.  The menthol was great except for the couple of times I got it in my eyes

Thank you for posting this ischiapp!  I didn't realize MT made shampoo.  Now I need to make another international purchase . 

Do you find the scents on the shampoos to be similar to the shave soaps/pastes?

The three that I prefer, are really very close.
I also tried Garden Sage & Amyris, but it's lighter.
However as notes are the same.

If you are interested, in relation to the strength of the fragrance and the effectiveness, today my favorite products of MT are the oils.
I just have to stimulate Meissner brothers to resurrect Geranium & Lavender version, now missing.

No menthol in MT.

I didn't realize MT made shampoo.

Actually, they make all hygiene products a man can need.

This is what I mean when I speak of a complete shaving line in continuity of fragrance.


My favorite is Indian Flavor, of which I have tried:
solid shampoo
soap preshave
oil
face / hand soap
shaving soap (paste)
shaving soap (hard)
aftershave balm
aftershave lotion
deodorant

WSP

Decided to try Haslinger's beer shampoo.  This is the 1st liquid soap i've used in a long time
